Despite all the brouhaha and posturing and self-felatio going on in the political class and the MSM there are no Russians under your bed.

Curious? See Pluto's excellent essay:

This lie has pissed me off about six times a day for the past three years. It's the worst form of Nazi-inspired, anti-communist, US propaganda. It is of the same calibre as the Nazi-style attempt to portray Russians as hacking the 2016 US elections — and deflect the blame from Hillary and the DNC who were warned they would lose if they tried to force this despised candidate on America.. So, I'm going to get it off my chest on the first work day of 2017.

That's just the first paragraph. Crikey.

So who is under the bed? Oh the Chinese?

The Office of Personnel Management (“OPM”) data breach involves the greatest theft of sensitive personnel data in history. But, to date, neither the scope nor scale of the breach, nor its significance, nor the inadequate and even self-defeating response has been fully aired.

Alright, now you may be asking yourself where was the OUTRAGE? Where were the threats of RETRIBUTION? Where was POTUS? Where was NANCY? Where was CHUCK? Where was LINDSAY and saddle buddy McCAIN? Etc, etc, etc.

Umm, didn't happen. Would only highlight how incompetent and ineffective our blessed gubmint is about this stuff. Let's jus call our National Response as Leading From Behind and move on.

So, why the current furor? The MSM is exposed thanks to John Podesta (password = password) and the DNC and HRC et al and their emails. They have nothing left so are grasping at any 24/7 "scandal" that they can run up to the inaugural.

And, you can totally trust James Clapper if he says its true, he has always told us the truth.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2014/01/27/darrell-iss...

"Director Clapper continues to hold his position despite lying to Congress under oath about the existence of bulk data collection programs in March 2013," the letter reads. "Asking Director Clapper, and other federal intelligence officials who misrepresented programs to Congress and the courts, to report to you on needed reforms ... is not a credible solution."

There are no Russians under your bed. The Chinese have been elbowed into the closet and all that is left is the MSM and their teat sucking fools.

So there.

Sleep well.

Don't go to ToP, egad.

Don't look under your bed.
